Just because
@Valkyrie was nice enough to ask, few shots from a quick cargo delivery mission. This is the relatively new starter ship, the Drake Cutter. I quite like it. Flies in atmosphere like I think a VW van would feel if one could fly!
These were taken at 4K, very high settings, but they're shrunk down for here of course.
On the train, heading to the space port in New Babbage on Microtech.
Heading for orbit, city of New Babbage on Microtech in the background.
On approach to the mining station to pick up the cargo. Microtech is the farthest planet out in the Stanton system, I think, and this station is on one of its moons. The moons are often quite dark and very cold, and I seem to have a knack for taking missions when the place I need to go is on the dark side! Anyway, quite cool and atmospheric. Fog and cloud cover, and snow storms on the surface. The lights ahead of my ship is the mining station not too far away at this point.
Package retrieved, leaving the moon, getting to orbit to engage quantum drive back to Microtech for delivery.
Also both times I logged out in the ship bed in this recent playtime I logged back and was in my ship nearly where I was when I logged off. I say nearly because one time I tried logging out in just a random place landed on the planet. Then I logged back in it put me in orbit above the planet.
Not perfect yet, but that is certainly a lot better than all the way back at the last major city or space port I landed at! If that keeps working I'll be able to play more and get something done with less real-life time required.
